I just got back from vacation. I've got over 2 pages of threads to catch up on.... I need to read more about this project to get caught up. However, I can say now that you can count me in on any capacity that you need.

Well, I've gone through as many of the posts as I can since my vacation. Clearly I missed a busy week .

I've already said that I very much want to be a part of this; however, after reading 12 pages on this thread, it seems like we are very much still in the main concept stage. I know that Phruby has a deadline for the end of the week for a background story/planet name. Does that mean that the Kashyyyk and Utapau ideas are out? For the record, I liked the Kashyyyk idea but I see the merits of a fan-fic world. I really like the design concepts that Chewie and Glassman have sketched out (love the 3D workup from Glassman!).

As part of the project management - do we have a timetable for when we are going to agree on the concept of the world? Is that after the various backstories have been written? Forgive me if this has already been cleared up. I'm a week behind and after reading 20+pages of threads, my head is still swimming.

What we really need to do is get the planning out of the way first. This is the most important part of this project, and we will be doing no good by trying to get ahead of ourselves here.

We wont be doing anything custom wise for this project until then. It will be unneccessary to do any customs without a basic concept to work with. I am going to be working very closely with the other group leaders. Until I get the say-so from them that we are ready to proceed, there is nothing that we can do. For instance, doing villagers in parkas for a desert planet wouldn't make much sense would it.

We can get the ball rolling on this by submitting ideas into the planet concept thread. So far only 4 people have submitted anything. So get those ideas in.Once the planning is out of the way thats when the real fun will begin.

Ill be the first to admit that patience is not one of my strongest traits. I yell at the microwave for crissake. BUt we have an entire year to do this, lets not rush. We need to take our time and do it right.

PErsonally though I love the concept art that both Chewie and Glassman came up with. Like wise with Famines Horseshoe concept. If we could combine them all I think that that would be perfect.
